🌿 Lying Beside Dandelions, Flying with Them 🌿
It was my second time visiting the Sceaux Park in Paris, and each visit leaves me in awe, finding such a pure land amidst the hustle and bustle of Paris. After all, Sceaux, the affluent suburb in the 92nd district of Paris, is the royal playground of France! 🏰 I arrived just in time to catch the last bloom of the cherry blossoms. The trees were already densely covered with new leaves, overshadowing the blossoms. From afar, the colors were rather dark, not so photogenic. 🥀 For those who wish to capture the blossoms, try standing a bit further from the cherry trees, zooming in, narrowing the frame, and increasing the exposure for a brighter shot~~~ After taking photos, I spread out the prepared waterproof mat (the grass was still quite damp), lay down to sunbathe, listened to the sound of the wind, and the languages from people around the world. It was incredibly relaxing, making me momentarily forget my recent worries about job hunting!!! Isn't it okay to relax once in a while~~~ Each click of the shutter seems to tell a story. I saw a couple sitting on chairs beside the castle basking in the sun, a young couple sitting on the grass by the pond reading a book, people jogging, others walking their dogs 🚶🐕, and watching the mandarin ducks playing in the water, it felt as if I was in a fairytale world. 🌳🌷 I heard that this park is on a scale comparable to the Palace of Versailles. The cherry blossom garden here has 13 varieties and 400 cherry trees, definitely the largest and most worthwhile cherry blossom forest to visit in Paris during spring! (Although it's a bit late now, it's still great for sunbathing.) The Sceaux Castle, this magnificent structure, is one of the representative works from the time of Louis XIV. The interior is exquisitely furnished. I haven't gone in either of my visits, just took photos outside. With the right angle, it feels like you're in Disney~ 🏰 Transportation: Take the RER B line to La Croix de Berny station and exit from number #ParisSceaux #SceauxParkParis #SpringGetaway #CherryBlossoms #ParisCherryBlossomPark #ParisCherryBlossomFestival
